Abstract
L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) is a functional enzyme for the isomerizing of D-galactose to produce D-tagatose. In this study, L-AI-C6-encoding gene from the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum C6 was cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB600 for investigating enzymatic characteristics and bioconverting D-tagatose by means of whole-cell catalysis. Results showed that the engineered B. subtilis WB600-pMA5-LAI achieved a maximum specific activity of L-AI-C6 (232.65 ± 15.54 U/mg protein) under cultivation in LB medium at 28 °C for 40 h. The recombinant L-AI-C6 was purified, and enzymatic characteristics test showed its optimum reaction temperature and pH at 60 °C and 8.0, respectively. In addition, L-AI-C6 exhibited good stability within the pH range of 5.5-9.0. By using B. subtilis WB600-pMA5-LAI cells as whole-cell catalyst, the highest D-tagatose yield reached 42.91 ± 0.28 % with D-galactose as substrate, which was 2.41 times that of L. fermentum C6 (17.79 ± 0.11 %). This suggested that the cloning and heterologous expression of L-AI-C6 was an effective strategy for improving D-tagatose conversion by whole-cell catalysis. In brief, the present study demonstrated that the reaction temperature, pH, and stability of L-AI-C6 from L. fermentum C6 meet the demands of industrial application, and the constructed B. subtilis WB600-pMA5-LAI shows promising potential for the whole-cell biotransformation of D-tagatose.

Abstract
Lactose obtained from cheese whey is a low value commodity despite its great potential as raw material for the production of bioactive compounds. Among them, prebiotics stand out as valuable ingredients to be added to food matrices to build up functional foods, which currently represent the most active sector within the food industry. Functional foods market has been growing steadily in the recent decades along with the increasing awareness of the World population about healthy nutrition, and this is having a strong impact on lactose-derived bioactives. Most of them are produced by enzyme biocatalysis because of molecular precision and environmental sustainability considerations. The current status and outlook of the production of lactose-derived bioactive compounds is presented with special emphasis on downstream operations which are critical because of the rather modest lactose conversion and product yields that are attainable. Even though some of these products have already an established market, there are still several challenges referring to the need of developing better catalysts and more cost-effective downstream operations for delivering high quality products at affordable prices. This technological push is expected to broaden the spectrum of lactose-derived bioactive compounds to be produced at industrial scale in the near future. Graphical abstract

Reagentless D-Tagatose Biosensors Based on the Oriented Immobilization of Fructose Dehydrogenase onto Coated Gold Nanoparticles- or Reduced Graphene Oxide-Modified Surfaces: Application in a Prototype Bioreactor. BIOSENSORS 2021; 11:bios11110466. [PMID: 34821682 PMCID: PMC8615923 DOI: 10.3390/bios11110466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
As electrode nanomaterials, thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) and modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used to design bioelectrocatalytic systems for reliable D-tagatose monitoring in a long-acting bioreactor where the valuable sweetener D-tagatose was enzymatically produced from a dairy by-product D-galactose. For this goal D-fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) from Gluconobacter industrius immobilized on these electrode nanomaterials by forming three amperometric biosensors: AuNPs coated with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (AuNP/4-MBA/FDH) or AuNPs coated with 4-aminothiophenol (AuNP/PATP/FDH) monolayer, and a layer of TRGO on graphite (TRGO/FDH) were created. The immobilized FDH due to changes in conformation and spatial orientation onto proposed electrode surfaces catalyzes a direct D-tagatose oxidation reaction. The highest sensitivity for D-tagatose of 0.03 ± 0.002 μA mM−1cm−2 was achieved using TRGO/FDH. The TRGO/FDH was applied in a prototype bioreactor for the quantitative evaluation of bioconversion of D-galactose into D-tagatose by L-arabinose isomerase. The correlation coefficient between two independent analyses of the bioconversion mixture: spectrophotometric and by the biosensor was 0.9974. The investigation of selectivity showed that the biosensor was not active towards D-galactose as a substrate. Operational stability of the biosensor indicated that detection of D-tagatose could be performed during six hours without loss of sensitivity.

Abstract
D-Galactose is an abundant carbohydrate monomer in nature and widely exists in macroalgae, plants, and dairy wastes. D-Galactose is useful as a raw material for biomass fuel production or low-calorie sweetener production, attracting increased attention. This article summarizes the studies on biotechnological processes for galactose utilization. Two main research directions of microbial fermentation and enzyme-catalyzed conversion from galactose-rich biomass are extensively reviewed. The review provides the recent discoveries for biofuel production from macroalgae, including the innovative methods in the pretreatment process and technological development in the fermentation process. As modern people pay more attention to health, enzyme technologies for low-calorie sweetener production are more urgently needed. D-Tagatose is a promising low-calorie alternative to sugar. We discuss the recent studies on characterization and genetic modification of L-arabinose isomerase to improve the bioconversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose. In addition, the trends and critical challenges in both research directions are outlined at the end. KEY POINTS: • The value and significance of galactose utilization are highlighted. • Biofuel production from galactose-rich biomass is accomplished by fermentation. • L-arabinose isomerase is a tool for bioconversion of D-galactose to D-tagatose.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 156:411-419.

Abstract
Co-immobilization is a groundbreaking technique for enzymatic catalysis, sometimes strategic, as for dextransucrase and dextranase. In this approach, dextranase hydrolytic action removes the dextran layer that covers dextransucrase reactive groups, improving the immobilization. Another advantage is the synergic effect of the two enzymes towards prebiotic oligosaccharides production. Thus, both enzymes were co-immobilized onto the heterobifunctional support Amino-Epoxy-Glyoxyl-Agarose (AMEG) and the ion exchanger support monoaminoethyl-N-ethyl-agarose (Manae) at pH 5.2 and 10, followed or not by glutaraldehyde treatment. This work is the first attempt to immobilize dextransucrase under alkaline conditions. The immobilized dextransucrase on AMEG support at pH 10 (12.78 ± 0.70 U/g) presents a similar activity of the biocatalyst produced at pH 5.2 (14.95 ± 0.82 U/g). The activity of dextranase immobilized onto Manae was 5-fold higher than the obtained onto AMEG support. However, the operational stability test showed that the biocatalyst produced on AMEG at pH 5.2 kept >60% of both enzyme activities for five batches. The glutaraldehyde treatment was not worthwhile to improve the operational stability of this biocatalyst.

Abstract
We have developed a sustainable three-stage process for the revaluation of cheese whey permeate into D-tagatose, a rare sugar with functional properties used as sweetener. The experimental conditions (pH, temperature, cofactors, etc.) for each step were independently optimized. In the first step, concentrated whey containing 180–200 g/L of lactose was fully hydrolyzed by β-galactosidase from Bifidobacterium bifidum (Saphera®) in 3 h at 45 °C. Secondly, glucose was selectively removed by treatment with Pichia pastoris cells for 3 h at 30 °C. The best results were obtained with 350 mg of cells (previously grown for 16 h) per mL of solution. Finally, L-arabinose isomerase US100 from Bacillus stearothermophilus was employed to isomerize D-galactose into D-tagatose at pH 7.5 and 65 °C, in presence of 0.5 mM MnSO4. After 7 h, the concentration of D-tagatose was approximately 30 g/L (33.3% yield, referred to the initial D-galactose present in whey). The proposed integrated process takes place under mild conditions (neutral pH, moderate temperatures) in a short time (13 h), yielding a glucose-free syrup containing D-tagatose and galactose in a ratio 1:2 (w/w).

Abstract
Iminodiacetic acid (IDA) is one of the chelating ligands most frequently employed in immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) due to its ability to act as electron-pair donor, forming stable complexes with intermediate and borderline Lewis metal ions (electron acceptor). Thus, IDA can also be employed in ion exchange chromatography to purify positively charged proteins at neutral pH values. This study aimed to evaluate IDA as an ionogenic group (ion exchanger) immobilized on poly (ethylene vinyl alcohol) (PEVA) hollow fiber membranes for immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (MAb) purification. IDA-PEVA membranes showed considerable promise for MAb purification, since IgG1 was recovered in eluted fractions with traces of contaminants as confirmed by Western blotting and ELISA analysis. Quantification of IgG1 showed that a purity of 94.2% was reached in the elution step. Breakthrough curve and batch adsorption experiments showed that the MAb dynamic binding capacity (DBC) of 3.10 mg g-1 and the maximum adsorption capacity of 70 mg g-1 were of the same order of magnitude as those found in the literature. The results obtained showed that the IDA-PEVA hollow fiber membrane could be a powerful adsorbent for integrating large-scale processes for purification of MAb from cell culture supernatant.
